Amazing stories about excessive wealth and privilege, inspired by White Lotus

i’d be curious to hear your take on it, and I also think that it has a lot more to say than just that, rich white people get away with the shit that we already know they do. And I think some of them do get their comeuppance.

The characters covered a wide range in my view, from young people still figuring out just how to navigate their privilege alongside their awareness of how it’s built on the backs of others, to another who’s trying to decide whether she should accept the role that her new marriage to a rich, sexist asshole seems destined to consign her to, versus her pursuing her own ambitions, to several interesting characters who work for these pampered people, and can see right through their pretensions, weaknesses and other demerits. It’s also about how people justify their privileges to themselves. Many of the characters and much of the acting are great!
